Hello,

Is DevForce can create edmx file on runtime similar on EF4? 

Thanks

Hi k_cire0426,

DevForce generates code from the edmx. It doesn't generate the edmx itself. We leave that duty to Entity Framework.

We don't directly support this yet. 

For the time being, here are some suggestions that are worth exploring.

1. Using the TextTransform utility - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126245.aspx

2. Using MSBuild

- http://geekswithblogs.net/EltonStoneman/archive/2008/07/25/an-msbuild-task-to-execute-t4-templates.aspx

3. Microsoft Code Generation and T4 Text Templates discussion - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126445.aspx

A quick note, you still have to compile the generated code (.cs file) in order to use it with your project.

Hope this helps.
